NEVER FORGET.

CNN is reporting that Saudi Arabia appears to have snubbed President Obama when he arrived in Riyadh for his farewell tour. It is customary for a U.S. president to be greeted by a high-ranking government official. In Saudi Arabia that would be a high-ranking member of the royal family, perhaps the king himself or the crown prince. Today, Obama was greeted by the governor of Riyadh. CNN reports:
When Obama touched down in Riyadh shortly after 1 p.m. local time, there were no kisses with the kingdom’s ruler as President George W. Bush once exchanged. The Saudi government dispatched the governor of Riyadh rather than a senior-level royal to shake Obama’s hand, a departure from the scene at the airport earlier in the day when King Salman was shown on state television greeting the leaders of other Gulf nations on the tarmac.
Social media users quickly termed the reception, which was not carried live on state TV, a snub and a sign that a relationship long lubricated by barrels of oil is now facing deep questions on both sides. Reporter Nic Robertson says the greeting was very different from the one President George W. Bush received when he made a similar farewell tour at the end of his presidency

did he bow anyway?
Why would the master greet a slave at the airport?
I’m sure he spent hours on the flight practicing.
Didn’t the same thing happen when he went to Cuba?
lol why practice? he’s got it down perfect.
I hate him.
Didn’t he bring his Presidential Prayer Rug?.................
Ostumbles just can’t get respect even from his fellow muzzles.
I apologize to excrement when I refer to this pos.
NEVER FORGET.
Even SHE did..! Ridiculous.
Yep got to Cuba and no one of interest to greet him.
Que up some Aretha Franklin..
Man don’t get no respect anymore..
And is clueless as to why.
First, he's 80 years old.
And then there's this:
In January 2011, he [Salman] ordered the arrest of Riyadh beggars "who try to take advantage of the generosity of people". All foreign beggars were deported and Saudi beggars were placed in a rehabilitation program by the Ministry of Social Affairs.Perhaps I'm the only one who missed the hysterical coverage of this terrible crime that was surely on the front page of the New York Times and was wall-to-wall on CNN and MSNBC.
Lo and behold, NO Fidel, NO Raul...! Heh, heh...
The most senior pizza delivery guy in Havana..?
Yep. He has become the Rodney Dangerfield of world leaders.
Actually, he WAS all ready to bend over with a smile.
Yeah, the way I heard it, when 0 landed in Cuba, Raul didn’t show up because he was watching the Simpsons.
Whaaaa?
Dorkbama the Muslim was dissed by a muzzie rat’s nest?
That’ like flies rejecting shi....er....Dorkbama.
Now, now, Rodney Dangerfield finally morphed into a national treasure, after untold years of struggle. barry hasn’t accomplished that.
